You need to be clear about what you mean here. All current XSLT processors
use a internal object model that may be a DOM or a proprietry model. If you
pass SAX events as input the processor still builds an object model. I don't
think there is any generic reason that creating an internal model from
SAX events should be any quicker than from a DOM.

I am assuming you are caching the XT internal OM not a DOM per say. If so
the speed improvement is simply because you are not building the XT
internal object model each time.

XT is still going to have to convert those SAX events into a object model
before it can use them. There is some saving in not re-parsing the original
XML but it won't match caching the XT object model.
